VEGAS

Bookmakers at Bovada have already installed Alabama as the favorite for 2019, which makes sense because Alabama has more good players than anyone else.

The Crimson Tide are getting early odds of 11/4.

They’re followed by 2016 national champion Clemson (6/1) while Georgia and Ohio State are both at 15/2, Michigan is at 9/1, Penn State is 11/1 and Oklahoma is 18/1.

The Wolverines are on the rise after taking some lumps with a young team in ‘17 while the Nittany Lions and Sooners both have to replace their best offensive player in Saquon Barkley and Baker Mayfield, respectively.

The next two dates you’ll want to circle on the calendar: Jan. 15, the deadline for underclassmen to declare for the NFL draft, and Feb. 7, the next time high school seniors can sign national letters of intent.
